Work-based learning is at the heart of hands-on instruction and application of real-world experience in the classroom. By providing students with experiences in a working environment, they are able to put their education to practical use. The introduction of real-world experiences into the classroom helps students become familiar with the expectations of the employer/client and gives them many opportunities for problem solving. These skills and experiences enable students to enter into the workforce with real expectations of how they will conduct themselves as professionals.
Faculty members are able to utilize work-based learning projects to introduce and illustrate concepts that can be addressed in an applicable manner, with the student applying those concepts to a task at hand. This input-to-outcome transference of information enables faculty and students to see the direct result of their education and how they can apply education when they are on the job. Work-based learning provides faculty a rich and meaningful method of instruction, one that has proven to be invaluable to students.
